I am having the same trouble right now as well. Currently i have been trying for about half an hour to an hour, but no luck thus far. I still cannot connect, and it seems the errors are similar to last time

Same here, having a lot of issues and it seems there’s no way to solve this issues. part of a dm I’ve received: “[...] It will take time for us to figure out a working solution for all servers, but if the block is made via IP addresses, it makes the task a lot harder to overcome” Long story short, they can’t do anything.

is amazing and sad that in this era with all the high technology / strong cryptography protocols etc there’s still not a solid workaround to avoid censorship of the fukin governments. they ban the fukin IP of the servers and is done. game over. hope you PROTONVPN really do something to avoid this. the world need a solution.

Since this has been going on for a short while now, I have started looking into different alternatives, in the somewhat likely occurrence that ProtonVPN, although brilliant, can no longer be used in China. Thus far I have found a few, however, from people who have used them, they seem good, but lackluster in comparison. If you surf the net, you will be able to find a quite a few, such as AirVPN, ExpressVPN, VyperVPN, etc. These are some which China isn't really focusing on, strangely enough.

Edit: I would, however, hope that you stay with ProtonVPN for a while. They are a good company, and I do not wish to switch unless absolutely necessary, considering how good ProtonVPN is to me, in my current situation.

I understand the criticism for Express, considering, as someone in China, when one of the first ads you see on a Chinese page is for express VPN. However, AirVPN is one that the Chinese government can't really have a measure for, at least from the research that I have done. Similar to Vyper, I believe? (May be mistaking this one for one of the others, anyway)

This is all since they have different protocols they use. I have found some other's as well. So, let's give some of these a little benefit of the doubt, since there is little else for us to use, especially in my case, since I can only use a linux distro at this point in time.
